                       DIVISION __--DATA BREACHES

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This division may be cited as the ``Personal Data Privacy 
     and Security Act of 2012''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) databases of personally identifiable information are 
     increasingly prime targets of hackers, identity thieves, 
     rogue employees, and other criminals, including organized and 
     sophisticated criminal operations;
       (2) identity theft is a serious threat to the Nation's 
     economic stability, national security, homeland security, 
     cybersecurity, the development of e-commerce, and the privacy 
     rights of Americans;
       (3) security breaches are a serious threat to consumer 
     confidence, homeland security, national security, e-commerce, 
     and economic stability;
       (4) it is important for business entities that own, use, or 
     license personally identifiable information to adopt 
     reasonable procedures to ensure the security, privacy, and 
     confidentiality of that personally identifiable information;
       (5) individuals whose personal information has been 
     compromised or who have been victims of identity theft should 
     receive the necessary information and assistance to mitigate 
     their damages and to restore the integrity of their personal 
     information and identities;
       (6) data misuse and use of inaccurate data have the 
     potential to cause serious or irreparable harm to an 
     individual's livelihood, privacy, and liberty and undermine 
     efficient and effective business and government operations;
       (7) government access to commercial data can potentially 
     improve safety, law enforcement, and national security; and
       (8) because government use of commercial data containing 
     personal information potentially affects individual privacy, 
     and law enforcement and national security operations, there 
     is a need for Congress to exercise oversight over government 
     use of commercial data.

     interstate commerce, other than a service provider, that 
     uses, accesses, transmits, stores, disposes of or collects 
     sensitive personally identifiable information shall, 
     following the discovery of a security breach of such 
     information, notify any resident of the United States whose

     transmits, stores, disposes of, or collects sensitive 
     personally identifiable information that the agency or 
     business entity does not own or license shall notify the 
     owner or licensee of the information following the discovery 
     of a security breach involving such information.
       (2) Notice by owner, licensee, or other designated third 
     party.--Nothing in this title shall prevent or abrogate an 
     agreement between an agency or business entity required to 
     give notice under this section and a designated third party,

     identifiable information subject to the security breach, to 
     provide the notifications required under subsection (a).
       (3) Business entity relieved from giving notice.--A 
     business entity obligated to give notice under subsection (a) 
     shall be relieved of such obligation if an owner or licensee 
     of the sensitive personally identifiable information subject 
     to the security breach, or other designated third party, 
     provides such notification.
       (4) Service providers.--If a service provider becomes aware 
     of a security breach of data in electronic form containing 
     sensitive personal information that is owned or possessed by 
     another business entity that connects to or uses a system or 
     network provided by the service provider for the purpose of 
     transmitting, routing, or providing intermediate or transient 
     storage of such data, the service provider shall be required 
     to notify the business entity who initiated such connection, 
     transmission, routing, or storage of the security breach if 
     the business entity can be reasonably identified. Upon 
     receiving such notification from a service provider, the 
     business entity shall be required to provide the notification 
     required under subsection (a).
       (c) Timeliness of Notification.--
       (1) In general.--All notifications required under this

     breach.
       (2) Reasonable delay.--
       (A) In general.--Reasonable delay under this subsection may 
     include any time necessary to determine the scope of the 
     security breach, prevent further disclosures, conduct the 
     risk assessment described in section 202(b)(1)(A), and 
     restore the reasonable integrity of the data system and 
     provide notice to law enforcement when required.
       (B) Extension.--
       (i) In general.--Except as provided in section 202, delay 
     of notification shall not exceed 60 days following the 
     discovery of the security breach, unless the business entity 
     or agency request an extension of time and the Federal Trade 
     Commission determines in writing that additional time is 
     reasonably necessary to determine the scope of the security 
     breach, prevent further disclosures, conduct the risk 
     assessment, restore the reasonable integrity of the data 
     system, or to provide notice to the entity designated by the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to section 206.
       (ii) Approval of request.--If the Federal Trade Commission 
     approves the request for delay, the agency or business entity

     extent applicable, the reasons for any delay of notification.
       (d) Delay of Notification Authorized for Law Enforcement or 
     National Security Purposes.--
       (1) In general.--If the United States Secret Service or the 
     Federal Bureau of Investigation determines that the 
     notification required under this section would impede a 
     criminal investigation, or national security activity, such 
     notification shall be delayed upon written notice from the 
     United States Secret Service or the Federal Bureau of 
     Investigation to the agency or business entity that 
     experienced the breach. The notification from the United 
     States Secret Service or the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
     shall specify in writing the period of delay requested for 
     law enforcement or national security purposes.
       (2) Extended delay of notification.--If the notification 
     required under subsection (a) is delayed pursuant to 
     paragraph (1), an agency or business entity shall give notice 
     30 days after the day such law enforcement or national 
     security delay was invoked unless a Federal law enforcement 
     or intelligence agency provides written notification that 
     further delay is necessary.
